hey there deer hunter, i to use a cross bow for hunting due to a spinal cord injury that left paralyses on my right side, have not much use in right arm nor hand. Been hunting w/ crossbow going on my fourth year now. Take note on what Dan o said about marking yor string, needs to be pulled back equally on both sides in order to shoot straight & accurately every time you shoot. I use a cocking device which works great in pulling back the string staight. I always cock mine before leaving the house but am always conserned about getting pulled over by the sherriff or the Game Warden on the way to the stand. Sooner or later you will have to cock your crossbow in your stand, Usually only takes one shot w/ those puppys.

happy and safe hunting
